Telemann - Concertos 3CD [flac]

The first CD, by Martin Haselboeck with the Wiener Akademie, includes the rare and extraordinary Cricket Symphony (Grillensymphonie), or El Grillo of Telemann. That work features, as solo instruments piccolo, two double basses (!), chalumeau (early version of the clarinet), oboe, and violin. The final movement is in the earthy Polish folk style that Telemann exploited the same way that Joseph Haydn would later exploit Hungarian gypsy styles in his chamber and orchestral compositions. The second CD is six oboe concerti played by Thomas Indermuehle with the English Chamber Orchestra. On the third CD the Concerto in E minor for flute, violin and strings, offers an extraordinary display of unexpected, virtuosic instrumental ensemble effects whose impact on the listeners in Telemann's time must have been startling, to say the least. I can't resist the temptation to try to sketch a few details of the openings of the movements. Frank T. Manheim
